[dismemberthename]

[Whatever circumstances put you into this situation must have really sucked, because right now? You're basically in the middle of nowhere, with heavy snowfall verging on a blizzard, with no reliable way out of this mess. There's no sign of shelter anywhere, and you're in the mountains for fuck's sake. Maybe you can find some trees to hang out under...?

...Are those wolves howling? Seriously, why are even wolves out in this weather?]

((or you know whatever you wanna play follow your dreams))

[peacetalks]

I take that to mean you come from outside Eorzea. Thavnair, then? Doma?

[dismemberthename]

...I confess I don't know where those are.

[peacetalks]

Truly? Where, then?

[dismemberthename]

Mmm. Chengdu? Or Tokyo.

[peacetalks]

I cannot say I've heard of either such place... you must have traveled a great deal to come here. Did something draw you?

[dismemberthename]

I just kinda showed up.

[peacetalks]

[chuckles a little]

How mysterious. What is it you are seeking here, then?

[dismemberthename]

Mm.... I don't know.

[peacetalks]

... I do not need to tell anyone at Falcon's Nest of your whereabouts. If 'tis food and supplies you need, that can be provided. This business with stealing and disabling the traps will only lead to confrontation further along the line, and if you wish to avoid that--as I would--then I suggest we establish a better method.

[dismemberthename]

...You think you can get resources directed our way? I don't dislike the idea, but it seems... How much sway do you have?

[peacetalks]

If I can come up with a convincing story, I may be able to have a drop-off point established. There are a handful of people who live in the outskirts of the Wildlands that rely on the occasional delivery from the Order, and I do not think 'twould be terribly difficult to request another.

[glances down]

That is not to say we've an abundance of resources, mind you... but surely some supplies are better than none.

[dismemberthename]

Some are absolutely better than none. If you can come through with that, we can stop stealing. Somethin' steady would be way better than occasional raids.

[peacetalks]

[smiles]

I shall do what I can. Halone knows life out here is difficult enough, especially with the dragon attacks. Have you seen any?

[dismemberthename]

Only flying by. We steer clear as we can.

[peacetalks]

Good. 'Tis best to keep oneself hidden when they prowl the skies. You may have an... affinity with beasts, but I would caution against attempting to parlay with dragons.

[dismemberthename]

Yeah, nah, the wolves are terrified of them and I'm not gonna mess with something that size.

[peacetalks]

Do you... converse with them?

[dismemberthename]

Nope. They're just real forgiving of my inability to really match their body language. I said they think of me as a puppy, right?

1/2

[peacetalks]

A very odd-looking puppy, at that.

[peacetalks]

--not that I mean to say you are odd-looking.

[dismemberthename]

[snorts a laugh and reaches back to pat his hip.]

You're fine, you're fine. They found me pretty much bled out and unable to move, so they fed me and protected me. Like a pup.

[peacetalks]

What happened to you?

[dismemberthename]

I don't remember.

[because it happened to shut hell and they still aren't on speaking terms.

delicately leaves out the part where he woke up nearly dead at the site of a fucking massacre she no doubt did.]

[peacetalks]

You do not remember...

[he sound skeptical, but not like he's going to push it]

[dismemberthename]

S'okay. I wouldn't believe me either. But it is what it is.
